Let me tell you why: I was trying to make a new version of my church's website (which was made in FrontPage and is really, really awful) last night, and I got it all spiffy looking in FireFox. Then I show it to my dad who uses Internet Explorer; it's dreadful. About half of the fonts are screwed up; it's like IE is ignoring the CSS information for the sidebar. Most frustrating indeed. What's more, I've got no clue what the problem is. It *should* work right now, the way it is. It just.... doesn't. If anyone who knows CSS better than I do wants to take a look, the first draft is here. Ignore the awful table in the middle; I'm fixing that later on.

Legitimate concerns with IE aside, you really can't afford to build a site to Firefox specs when IE is the internet standard (for better or worse). You really gotta build for IE and maybe tweak it for Netscape, Opera, etc from there. That's an industry standard, since you hafta cater to the largest number of users. Even if you think that Firefox is the perfect browser, you hafta build to the standard. To do otherwise, honestly, would be considered a bad move in dah web bidnez. Good luck with the site!
